[issue23035] python -c: Line causing exception not shown for exceptions other than SyntaxErrors

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

One can paste multiple lines, comprising multiple statements, into the console interprer.  (Shell only recognizes a single pasted statement.)  
I agree, however, that it seems that Python could keep the split version of the input line for the purpose of tracebacks.  I just tried

C:\Users\Terry>python -c "import sys; print(sys.argv)"
['-c']

I expected to see to see a list of 3 strings, not 1.
